These are Tower Hamlets's charges for 2026-27, the authority E1W falls in — not an estimate for any individual home. A property's band is set by the Valuation Office Agency and we never guess it; look up a band on GOV.UK and read your row. Bands reflect what a home was worth on 1 April 1991, not today.

Deprivation (IMD)

Area profile for E1W

Across the 12 sampled E1W postcodes, deprivation runs decile 3 to decile 9, with a median of decile 7 of 10 — where 1 is among the most deprived 10% of England and 10 the least deprived.

1 · most deprived10 · least deprived

E1W 2DE, the sampled postcode sitting at that median: On the English Indices of Deprivation 2025, this postcode falls in decile 7 of 10 — where 1 is among the most deprived 10% of England and 10 the least deprived. It's area context for the wider neighbourhood, not a judgement on any individual home.

Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0 (English Indices of Deprivation 2025, MHCLG). Deprivation is published for small areas (LSOAs), not for postcode districts, so E1W spans several. We sampled 12 postcodes in E1W that have recorded sales and 12 returned a row. It is context for the neighbourhood, never a judgement on any individual home.

What it costs to run a home in E1W, band by band

Tower Hamlets's council tax for 2026-27 set against the E1W median sold price of £664,000 across 250 recorded sales — the annual running cost beside the purchase price, which neither source shows on its own.

Council tax band, its 1991 valuation range, the annual and monthly charge in Tower Hamlets for 2026-27, and that charge as a share of the E1W median sold price

H	over £320,000	£3,676	£306	0.55%

The last column is the band's annual charge divided by the E1W median sold price — a comparison of two published figures, not a rate anyone charges. It is not a mapping from price to band: a band records what a home was worth on 1 April 1991 and is set by the Valuation Office Agency, so it cannot be worked out from a 2020s sale price. Look up a specific band on GOV.UK. Instalment counts vary by authority, so the monthly column is simply the year over twelve.

Questions, answered

The E1W report: your questions

What is the average house price in E1W?

The median sold price in E1W, Tower Hamlets was £664,000 across 250 recorded sales between 23 Jun 2025 and 24 Jul 2026. Most sales fell between £330,223 and £1,253,880. That is the median of real HM Land Registry transactions, not an estimate or a valuation.

How much is council tax in E1W?

E1W is billed by Tower Hamlets, whose Band D charge for 2026-27 is £1,838 a year. Every band from A to H is listed on this page. A property's band is set by the Valuation Office Agency and there is no free per-address dataset for it, so we never guess an individual home's band — look it up on GOV.UK and read your row.

Which schools are near E1W?

The Department for Education's register lists 8 open schools within 3 km of the E1W district centre, the nearest being St Peter's London Docks CofE Primary School (last Ofsted grade: Outstanding). These are nearest by straight-line distance from the district centroid — they are not catchment or admission areas, which councils set individually and do not publish centrally.

Is E1W a deprived area?

On the English Indices of Deprivation 2025, the 12 E1W postcodes we sampled run from decile 3 to decile 9, with a median of decile 7 of 10 — where 1 is among the most deprived 10% of England and 10 the least deprived. Deprivation is published for small areas, not postcode districts, so a district like E1W usually spans several. It is area context, never a judgement on an individual home.

Have there been planning applications near E1W?

The last check of the local planning authority register found 2609 applications within 500 m of the E1W district centre; the most recent are listed on this page with their reference, description and status as the authority published them. For an up-to-the-minute search, use the planning tool with your full postcode.

Can I see what an individual address in E1W sold for?

Yes — this page lists the 24 most recently sold doors of the 131 distinct addresses in the records we hold for E1W, each with its price and date. Addresses come from recorded sales since 1995, so a home that has never been sold does not appear; and we link an address to its own property page only where the match is certain, never by guessing.

How up to date are the E1W sold prices?

Sold prices come from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, covering sales up to 31 July 2026. The store is rebuilt monthly. New sales can take several weeks to appear in the official register after completion, so the very latest transactions may not show yet.

Does E1W cover my exact street?

E1W is the outward half of the postcode and covers the whole district, so the district-wide figures on this page are medians and ranges — not a valuation of any single property. The address list gives you the door-level picture, and the free checks take a full postcode.
